5 Lessons and experience with server virtualization is leading to trials of virtualized desktops. New influences in regulatory requirements, a trend toward green computing, and flexibility of work environment is driving towards virtualization of the desktop. VDI is predicted to grow quickly over the next five years.

Separate host intercept for each graphics stack & client equivalents – gaps Can lead to better bandwidth utilization for intercepted graphics types RDP Client Rendering RDP Host Rendering Leverages Rich Client HW and SW Single intercept point for all graphics – predictable and complete UX Typically requires more bandwidth as traffic is sent as compressed bitmaps Lightweight Clients means complexity is shifted to Host
